The last two years a neighbor of ours lights off very elaborate and damaging fireworks and we end up having a lot of debris in our pool. We have what looks like gun powder in our pool, orange sand like material, that can only be taken out with the robot vacuum. Are there any dangerous side...

So I should test my free chlorine again tomorrow? I have my swg set at 80% right now and need to add 80 pounds of salt which I will be doing tonight.

Opened pool got it crystal clear. Tested water was low on cya added stabilizer. Last few days green spots showing up in different parts of pool. I have attached results of test done today. Any suggestions please help!!!!

So add one bottle of that a day for like 3-4 days? Hopefully test kit here by end of week.

I’m sorry to be clueless on that but how many gallons or parts of gallon container would that be?

So I tested water using two year old test kit so not sure if 100% accurate and couldn’t test cya as I am out of that chemical

So just had my pool opened couple of days ago and was super green. Third year with pool and have loop loc cover. I added two gallons of shock and have vacuumed and cleaned filter cartridges 3 times in 4 days. Water is still super cloudy and looks greenish. I haven’t done a full water test as I...

It was not like that last summer the kid I think pulled it out and yes I agree looks like a gasket I tried pushing it back in but it’s like too much to get flush back in I can get some of it back in but the excess like bubbles out

Second year with inground pool fiberglass steps this seems to be a sealer around the steps had a little kid in pool the other day and noticed him playing with something snd saw this. Is this a major issue?

Ok sweet thank you so much for your help. I love this site and recommend it to all my friends with pools, getting pools or even thinking about getting a pool. You all are the best

I agree I did cya granules last year. I was wondering about the hardness plus easing the calcium levels if it is ok to swim with that being added

Ok great thank you so much I will work on adding the calcium. Is it safe for my kids to swim as I add the calcium lvls up? And I did just realize you were right I didn’t have pool math configured for swg thanks for noticing that now I have to add stabilizer to get cya up

Also these are the chemicals they told me to buy and add all of it to pool, should I add or return for $$ back?

Ok so I tested my levels this morning and here are the results. Should I be adding the chemicals the pool store said to address issues 3 and 5? And I know fc is high because I added shock two days ago.

And I added salt based on my swg recommendation I was just worried about adding 65lbs of chemicals that I might not need and the phosphate thing seemed a little off to me as well as I have never needed or added that last year

Ok great thank you so much I will check tomorrow. So just to be clear the phosphate thing is total bs. I can return those chemicals?

So this is my second year with pool and just opened it. Took water sample to local pool store and they kind of freaked me out with some of the results. Posting pic to show what they said I needed. My biggest concerns are numbers 3 and 5. I have tfp app and tested and used app all last year and...

Ok so just to be clear only count the drops it takes to immediately turn the pink to clear. Do not let it sit and keep adding drops and count that?

Yea so sample turned pink right away, I added the drops and it went clear when I went back to it it turned pink again, looked like possibly not all the powder dissolved there was a tiny tiny speck of powder still at the bottom so was also wondering how long do I give for powder to disolve, by...

So have another question. When I am testing for free chlorine and I add r-0870 to test tube how long do I need to let it sit and dissolve for? I noticed this morning when I added r-0871 it went clear, I walked away for a minute came back and water was pink again. Do I count the amount of free...

4 hours later and fc is still 10.5. Should I be adding more liquid chlorine. And just a reminder water is clear I posted at the beginning that my cya was 10 my fc was like 0 and I was starting to feel slimy walls and saw something that I believe was yellow algae
